Synopsis
There was a long-held belief,
In the Azurium Air Fleet
of the Mogho Naaba.
It was said…
That good fortune would come to a newly-wed captain,
If she took her bride far, far below the cloud layers,
To offer a heartfelt prayer,
To the Nameless One, on Mount Ségou.
About the story
On Mount Ségou is a very short (5-10 minutes) dark fantasy visual novel that came out in July 2023.
I submitted it to the 2023 “Only One of Any Asset” (O2A2) game jam, a 10-day-long game jam with strict asset limitations: entries can contain at most 1 sound effect, 1 music track, 1 photographic background, 1 sprite, and 1000 words of writing, not more.
This story is a highly derivative, highly concentrated dose of my usual and current obsessions, including Daphne du Maurier’s Monte Verità and Peter Weir’s Picnic at Hanging Rock (yet again…), but also Ursula Le Guin’s work, and Shinsekai Yori.
